Was going to be easy but i got bored and did some quarters during miles 8 and 9. 1/4 on at 5:20 pace, 1/4 off at 6:50 x4. Easy warmup and cool down. 6:46

Got this workout from coach Kary, and it was harder than I thought it would be. 2 mile warmup, 4x1 mile with 1/2 mile recoveries, 2 mile cooldown. The miles were ran at MP for the first 1000 meters then dropped down to 5:15 pace for the last 600. I figured I better get a workout in since my buddies are crazy people and were at the track at 4:30am this morning while I was at my desk. Thanks for the inspiration guys!

Long day at work (14 hours) and evening plans cut into run time so i

pulled a Clark Kent after work, changed in the car, and headed south on

the river trail toward the lake. It was dark but i had the headlamp. No

more gym for a while, I wasn't going to be cooped up in there another day.

Very easy running this morning with Scott, Matt, Mike, and Toni in prep for tomorrows long run. So glad the work week is over. It was great to see and run with the guys again after a long week. Tomorrows group run is going to be a lot of fun, it may as well be race day :). Looking forward to some big miles and some laughs.

I can agree with Jake whole-heartedly that it just doesn't get much better than this morning. A huge group of talented, great people got together today for what turned out to be an excellent run. Double out and back on the Murdock and Provo river trails. The whole thing went by so fast which is one of the many benefits of running with such a big group. The first 10 went by fast with the last 5 right around 6 minute pace. After a quick refuel we started the second 10 up the canyon. I wanted to try and get a few fast miles in on the way down so I was a little concerned about running up the canyon too fast. I told Matt about 2 miles up that I was going to back it off so I could focus on the down and started to let them go. Then I realized how silly that thought was and Matt had said something earlier (pain is only temporary) that made me laugh so instead I thought "not today" and surged back up and stayed with the pack (Thanks Matt). I've never ran up the canyon that fast, there were a couple miles at 6:10, but it felt good and was a huge confidence booster for me. Toni was the coolest today leaving drinks at Bridal Veil for us at the turn around so after a quick stop we turned to head back. At the little hill coming out of Nunns I decided it was time to go and took off for my tempo. I ran the next 3 in 5:44, 5:53(wind), and 5:35 before watch died just after the beep. I took the last 2 fairly easy but still at a good pace. I felt great today and am so thankful. It really is such a benefit and a pleasure to be able to have this group together and share some miles. All first class people and friends. Met some new faces today too. Days like today just can't be beat. Thanks to Matt, Scott, Justin, Jake, Fritz, Mike, and Bryce for pulling me up the canyon today :).6:24 average for the run.
